Happy New Year!

Back again to blogging after some weeks of holidays.

I’m again thinking of Swedish bands from the early, mid-2000s. Today one that is quite obscure, and who I suppose will find very little information online: Deep Frozen Lettuce!

I had discovered the label Små Krullig Får thanks to All of My Brother’s Girlfriends. AOMBG was a band I was friends with at the time. I used to chat on Soulseek and eventually ended up including one of their songs on the compilation “¡Es Pop Mamá!” that was released in Peru thanks to the Revista 69 magazine. AOMBG had released on the Små Krullig Får label. Actually the only release listed on Discogs for this label is the “Second Album on Cassette” by them.

The label, whose names translates to small curly sheep, released in 2004 a tape by Deep Frozen Lettuce! called “Business”. This tape had the catalog number 002 and included 6 songs “Everything & Space”, “All-Star Crew”, “Good Times”, “I Fell in Love at the Library (cassette recorder session)”. “Cherry Tree (porta session)” and “The Truth in a Song (computer session)”. Worth mentioning that the last 3 songs are listed as ‘new extra tracks’. I want to guess that originally there was a release just with the first three songs and then on the tape the other 3 were added.

A little poking here and there, I figure it out. Originally it was a CDR called “Dude Man! Yeah” that had the first three songs. Later on this CDR was discontinued. And then the tape was released with the extra songs.

Now, I also have the suspicion, and a blurry memory, that the person behind the band and the label was the same one. I am also pretty sure he was based in Lund, Sweden. I think the first name would have been Filip.

Other than that there’s absolutely no more information on the web. It is a shame. Anyone remembers this cool sounding project?
